Indanthrone Blue & New Gamboge Watercolor Sticks with Pansies painted from them

For a *Limited Time* we are having a “Buy One, Get One FREE” Special with our DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor Sticks, The Best Watercolor Sticks!  So two of our wonderful Watercolor Sticks: Indanthone Blue & New Gamboge for the price of one…a great way to try them out or add to your collection. [ Sorry, this *Limited Time* Special ended July 21, 2010 ]
 
Our Watercolor Sticks are made by hand from the same pigment as our DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors, they are just pigment and minimal binder, no waxes or clay, so the pigment releases cleanly into luminous color.  You can paint with them just as you would with pan watercolors, PLUS you can draw with them expanding your Artistic Expression!  These are VERY portable, perhaps for some journaling, or for Plein Air!
 
I have a video here so you can see a Demonstration with tips on using our DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Sticks as I paint out some Pansies using our Indanthrone Blue and New Gamboge.

DANIEL SMITH Winter Wonderland Watercolor Triad

DANIEL SMITH Winter Wonderland Watercolor Triad

It’s winter, and time to go “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”, artistically speaking, with DANIEL SMITH’s newest Watercolor Triad: Winter Wonderland! 

 
Our Winter Wonderland Watercolor Triad has two of our DANIEL SMITH PrimaTek Watercolors and is made up of:
 
Kyanite Genuine (a PrimaTek), Bloodstone Genuine (a PrimaTek) and Phthalo Green (YS)  This Limited Time Only, DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Triad is an extra special value since it has two of our PrimaTek watercolors.  If you have been wondering about the PrimaTek watercolors, then this Triad would be a great one to add to your palette.   
 
Winter Wonderland Kyanite Genuine, Made from the remarkable blue crystal that shares its name, this amazing PrimaTek pigment granulates in pockets of soft blue gray while a crystalline sparkle floats to the surface. Wash this color over your paper with plenty of water for a multi-dimensional effect or use at full strength for metallic blue steel. Kyanite Genuine gives frost icicles and snow flakes a magic touch in your winter landscapes.

 

Winter Wonderland Bloodstone Genuine, This PrimaTek’s pigment is made from the captivating red-dappled gemstone. In watercolor Bloodstone displays remarkable granulation and a rich, violet-umber hue. This textural neutral, with its soft mineral sheen, is the ideal earthtone for mountain crags peeking through snowcaps. Use it to add definition to your lanscapes with a range of values for shadows and shading.

 
Winter Wonderland Phthalo Green (YS), A clean, clear pure hue color that washes from deep rich, almost black green to a transparent bottle green. This beautiful color is great for mixing and maintains its depth. It is a staining pigment that creates luminous clean glazes.
 
Our Winter Wonderland Watercolor Triad is also one of our “Painting Project Triads” that you can download the triad design, transfer the image and paint it yourself.  Follow this link to the Winter Wonderland Painting Project.  
 
We have two new videos for the Winter Wonderland Watercolor Triad.  The first is about “How To” paint the Winter Wonderland landscape, and the second is about the 3 colors and mixing them.

Vanishing Image Paper - framed up to allow Customers to "Try It" when testing brushes at the brush counter at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store

Vanishing Image Paper - framed up to allow Customers to "Try It" when testing brushes at the brush counter at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store

Here is a great TIP for all you watercolorists and sumi painters, save some money on paper and practice your brush strokes on Vanishing Image Paper ! 

 
Here at the DANIEL SMITH  Seattle and Bellevue Stores we have the Vanishing Image Paper mounted, and placed on the the watercolor brush counter so that when you are at the stores, you can give our brushes a “TRY IT” test.  By trying out our brushes you can see how they “feel” and test their strokes.
 
The Vanishing Image Paper shows your brushstroke when you dip the brush you are trying, into water, and the water appears on the VIP surface like it would if it was paint or ink.  Unlike paint, the water evaporates returning the paper back to it’s blank surface.  The makes the VIP ideal for testing brushes in the store. 
 
The Vanishing Image Paper comes in a 9.5″ by 13″ sheet and it is great to use at home for anytime you want to practice your brushwork without using up your paper and watercolor paint or sumi ink.  This is a nice way to experiment with different ways of handling your brushes to learn the most effective expressive brush strokes for You!
